Vx-tasking

The vxtask utility performs basic administrative operations on VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) tasks that are running on the system. Operations include listing tasks (subject to filtering), modifying the state of a task (aborting, pausing, resuming), and modifying the rate of progress of a task. VERITAS Volume Manager Tasks represent long-term operations in progress on the system. Every task provides the time the operation started, the size and progress of the operation, and the operation’s state and rate of progress (throttle).
